size OF pess, but If two, which is better, let
the first De done when the flowers fade.
We sprayed ct the time when the fruit was
the size Of peas, no larger, and it was en-
phatically the thing. The yield was i'm
mense, of good sound fruit, and bushels Of
apples with never a worm. 1t seemed
miraculous. advise every one who owns
an apple tree to spray it with
a solution of paris green. This
spraying comes at busy season, bat it is q
job that can be hurried through, aud 300 to
400 trees can be done in day with water
handy. think the best guide for strength
of solution is the color of it, and should
be only pale green, as, no doubt, il too
strong the folisge and likely the fruit will
be blackened, or as if scorched, and enough

ground. When small grain is cut by a
self-binder, properly operated, so little
grain is left on the field that it will not
pay for cleaning it. Bat where reaper
with rake or dropper attachment is used,
or telegram is cut with a cradle, cleaning
is quite profitable, especially in the
wheat field. The beet implement for
the purpose is hay rake. The
revolving.head rake is better than
the spring.tooth sulky rake, as il does not
rake so close. and while gathering up the
grain will take less foreign matter, espe-
cially when the grain has been sown on
corn-stalk ground, without removing the
stalks. The cleaning should be done as
soon as the grain is cut, as that lying on the
stubble is rapidly damaged; even the dew
and sun bleach it, and hard rain will beat
it down into the stubbIe. III the cleaning
Is done at once, the grain will be Of as good
quality as that taken from the reaper. The
grain may be bound or moved away loose.
Cleaned oats are best fed unthresaed. A
boy in Illinois cleared Sl00 by cleaning the
grain fields of his neighbors. Many of them
allowed him the gleanings free. This may
be hint to other boys, while most farmers
will find that it will pay to CLEAN their own

FARM NOTES.

Sorghum makes an excellent fodder,
either when fed green or cut snd cured
like common corn aac then fed out as
wanted.
Reports fro N the Massachusetts Expert
ment Station go to show that potash fer
tilizers have decidedly improved the Ut
sirable qualities of the fruits.
As soon as flowers fade cut away the IN
slightly remains unless seeds are wanted,
when only the few that may be needed
should DE allowed to ripen.
The delicate fine flavor Of the onion is
said TO be the best when IL is first palled
and while it still has green neck. When
fully ripened it loses this fine flavor.
By stirring the soil after every rain the
weeds will be more easily destroyed than at
any other time. Never allow weeds to 80
TO seed, especially in the garden.
A good deal of time and labor is wasted
by planting several varieties of the same
fruit or vegetable when, for all particular
purposes, one or two would answer as well.
The 300 pounds-of- buttera.year COW is

In buying your COW find out for yourself
il she be what you want. Don't take any
bodys word for it. A mean COW is such
an intolerable nuisance that many men are
strongly tempted to strain point in order
to get rid of her.

After the field has been plOTed deep, the
lower leaves of the plants are about the
size Of tablespoon, is the time for plant
ing. In pulling the plants from the beds
be careful not to bruise the buds or heart.
The roots should be about two inches
long; if they are longer they SHOULD be
pinched of. else they will double up in
setting. If the ground is moist no more
care is required than is necessary in trans
planting caDbSges. In dry season, how
ever, the plants have to be 'watered
out" This is done by max.
ing a hole in the center OF the hill
four inches deep; this is flied with water,
the plant set in the mud, and dry soil
drawn over the mud to prevent baking. A
single stuck in the ground at an sngle, on
the south side of the plant, serves ex-
celleIt protection against the sun.
AS soon as the plants are large enough
so that the rows can be readily seen, stir
the ground with a tine-toothed cultivator.
Az the plants grow, use cultivator with
lsrger teeth or shoYels, until the plants
have attained height of eighteen inches.
When the plants are two feet high, the use
OF the cultivator should be discontinued
and the hoe applied instead.
a hoe should be used with q shufiing
motion, backward and forward, stirring up
fresh soil, carefully drawing all weeds into
the middle, between the rows, pulverizing
the soil around the plants, and drawing up
around them plenty OF moist, mellow soil.
When one is hoeing, It is best 70 look for
tobacco worms, which are always found on
the under side of the leaves, and the pres
ence of which is indicated by the fresh ra v
edges of the leaves and after a few DAYS by
their scared and yellow appearance.
